Ability

FPS

Level 0+	0.5s Cooldown
	Upon use, player gains control of the tower. Tower now needs to be fired by the player, though it gains the ability to pierce through enemies, hidden detection (if not at Level 3), no longer affected by range and is now affected by spread, recoil and obstacles on the map. Using the ability while the player is in control will remove control from the player.
